This seven-piece set includes BOTH versions of the $2 tribute to Jean Paul Riopelle.

Special features

• Add the Mint’s adaptation of Riopelle’s L’Hommage à Rosa Luxemburg to your collection. The 2023 $2 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Jean Paul Riopelle coin celebrates the life and legacy of visual artist Jean Paul Riopelle (1923-2002), one of the most globally revered Canadian artists of the 20th century.

 

• Features the transitional effigy. The 2023 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Jean Paul Riopelle coin is one of the few 2023-dated circulation coins to feature the transitional effigy and be destined for general circulation.

 

• Exceptionally rare for 2023. Your Keepsake Card also gives you 2023-dated versions of Canada’s classic $2, $1, 25¢, 10¢, 5¢ coins—a rarity in a year when these are only available as non-circulation coins (legal tender but not intended for general circulation).
